House Rent Boogie
House rent Boogie
The House rent Boogie
I told the landly I did lost my job
And I didn’t have the rent
She said I know that I got no rent
‘cause all I want is my money
You bring me for three weeks You ain’t pain in diam
You give me one more week to get the money together
I just give you one more week
And if you had the rent you can go out of the door
The Next week come, I didn’t have the rent
And I come in, I sleeped in the house late at that night The morning comes and she not my doe ‘cause I want my money right now
I said Lady, all day long I tried to find a job
I ani’t found nothing
And I’ve been here for quiet a little while
‘cause I want my money right now
I said: Where should I go on the street to come back
To get my old guitar, go on the street, on the corner
I sat down, I said fellows,
Some give me a Nickel and some give me a Daim
And some give ma a Quarter
And I play right here for you all day long ‘cause I can’t go home
the old land Lady, got my cold on the pot I don’t like that stuff
I paid and I plead And I got to the house, but when I old For 30 and 6 dollars in Summer,
For three weeks and I only had 10 dollars that money
And I told her, I said, I made 10 dollars a day
Give me three days and I bring you the rest of it
She said, all right, yeah When the three days come, I will 6 dollars shell
She thought me in the street And all of my cold
I said fellows, never go behind your rent
‘cause if you did it, it will hard
so it’s cold in the street
I mean in the street
In the dead old street
You had no where to go
It cold outside
You don’t like that stuff
Yes, yes
Solo
Yes, yes
I picked up my cloth I slowly walked away
It was cold, it was snowing
I want hummer and I want jar
I had no place to go
I goes to my sisters house
She get really funny
I stood around and it got late at night
She’s a young woman
She wouldn’t cook
To be in the kitchen one at the time
And I sit there
After a while she said, well, we got to go to bed
That’s the way it people do
The house rent boogie
The house rent boogie
